| Abstract: | A 19-year-old male who presented with cough and fever was found to have an 8-cm cyst in his left lung. Video-assisted thoracoscopic left lower lobectomy was performed. The cyst had to be decompressed by needle aspiration prior to retrieval through a 5-cm minithoracotomy. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 4 in good condition. The technical aspects form the basis of this report. |
